Hi, the second release candidate of Apache UIMA Ruta v2.7.0 is ready for voting. This minor release is not compatible with UIMA v3
Changes RC1 -> RC2 * added more examples in documentation for new features * refactored XML parsing * avoided several warnings in build process * fixed language in jira-report Major changes in this release: UIMA Ruta Language and Analysis Engine: * New language feature: label expressions at actions for directly assigning/reusing newly created annotations. Example: Document{-> a:T1, CREATE(T2, "ref" = a)}; * New language feature: new type of rule element for completely optional match which does not require an existing annotation and therefore also works at the boundary of a window/document. Example: NUM _{-PARTOF(CW)}; * Type lists can be used as matching condition. * Initial default value of string and annotations variables is now null. * Comparison of annotation and annotation list are now supported. * New configuration parameter 'inferenceVisitors'. * New configuration parameter 'maxRuleMatches'. * New configuration parameter 'maxRuleElementMatches'. * New configuration parameter 'rulesScriptName'. * Inlined rules as condition are only evaluated if the rule element match was successful. * Multiple inlined rule blocks are allowed at one rule element. * String features with allowed values are supported. * PlainTextAnnotator supports vertical tabs. * Various improvements for WORDTABLE. * Thrown exceptions include script name. * Fixed values of label for failed matches. * Fixed inlined rules as condition at wildcards. * Fixed resetting of annotation-based variables. * Fixed various bugs of wildcards. * Fixed CONTAINS condition for annotations overlapping the window. * Fixed COUNT condition. * Fixed setting variables by configuration parameter.
